PER CURIAM:
Jimmy Lawrence Nance filed a petition for an original writ
of habeas corpus challenging his 1993 conviction for first
degree murder of a United States Postal Service employee, in
violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1111, 1114 (2014). This court
ordinarily declines to entertain original habeas corpus
petitions under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012), and this case provides
no reason to depart from the general rule. Moreover, we find
that the interests of justice would not be served by
transferring the case to the district court. See 28 U.S.C.
§ 1631 (2012). Accordingly, we deny Nance leave to proceed in
forma pauperis and dismiss the petition. We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DISMISSED
